Reviews for Zooloretto

Zooloretto is a adaptation (or rather digitalization) of a board game. For what it is, it is pretty faithful recreation of the board game that was about managing your own zoo.
While board game was pretty easy to play with, mostly because of simple rules and how it was respecting your time (meaning it was pretty short game, easy to pick up and play), this game, sadly, doesn't. The AI opponents turns are really long and from an short and fun game like the board game version is, it is drawn out to epic proportions, also the AI is not something to write home about and it easy to exploit.
The biggest issue in my opinion, though, is that it doesn't have online multiplayer, which defeats the purpose of this release. The only multiplayer you can get out of it is hot seat, which makes this thing pointless, considering the fact that if you can get 4 people in front of the PC, you might as well get out the board game and don't have your PC crowded with people and risking spilling drinks or other dangerous situations.
Overall, it is faithful recreation, but the lack of online MP defeats the purpose of it, sadly, especially since the game is easy to get and cheap as chips. The only good thing about it is that you can play it alone with AI, so I guess it is something.
